North Carolina School of the
Arts, which has been in existence
for nearly three and one half years,
has always been noted for its liber
al policies with regard to such
things as curriculum, environment,
and drugs. It is time, however, for
students who are immersed in this
free atmosphere to listen to a con
servative voice of reason about a
problem which should not ixist in an
intelligent society. The issue in
volved relates specifically to theft
from the bookstore on campus. Hope
fully this article will provide some
enlightenment for the dolts who have
artfully heisted various commodities
from the store.
To begin with, the bookstore is
run as a convenience to the student
body by a trusting Mrs. Clay. The
purpose of this store is to provide
the students with useful merchandise
and a lounge. One thing the book
store is not is a source of substan
tial profit for Mrs. Clay, who oper
ates the store in order to add to
the well being of the school. How
ever when merchandise is wantonly
pilfered, particularly such items of
value as records and books, profit
diminished to a point where no one
can reasonably be expected to run a
business. This realistic factor can
also be morally frustrating to a
person attempting to be of service
to the school (picture yourself in
the same position). Thus, if the
bookstore were to lock up for finan
cial reasons, the school would be
terribly inconvenienced as to the
purchase of such things as books,
paper and food.
terribly inconvenienced as to the
purchase of such things as books,
paper and food, all of which are
otherwise inaccessible (unless you
feel like walking.).
So, fellow Laputians, the
choice of whether or not to have a
bookstore is left in your hands.
And if the stealing continues to in
crease, there may be no bookstore.
This essay is not intended as a mor-
ralistic or ethical sermon, but rath
er as a pragmatic attempt to put
forth the realistic facts and their
alternatives.
